UNITED NATIONS, 13 December 2022, (TON): At least 3,774 children have been killed in Yemen’s civil war between March 2015 and September 2022, UNICEF said, a week after it launched a multibillion-dollar global funding drive.

According to the latest statistics published by UNICEF, a further 7,245 children had been maimed in the conflict.

The organization called for an urgent renewal of the ceasefire agreement, which lasted from April until the beginning of October and saw a lull in front-line fighting.

UNICEF said some 3,904 boys were recruited as child soldiers from March 2015 to September 2022.
